A full-day “best of the Tasman Peninsula” plan: wild ocean coastline first, then Port Arthur with time to explore.
Quick take: A full-day tour (up to 10 hours 30 minutes) combining a 3-hour wilderness cruise
with 3 hours at Port Arthur Historic Site, plus morning tea, lunch, and entry fees included.
09:15 – Arrive on the Tasman Peninsula + morning tea
10:00 – 3-hour wilderness cruise
13:00 – Cruise concludes
13:30 – 3 hours at Port Arthur Historic Site (includes lunch + time to explore)
16:30 – Bus departs Port Arthur area
